The target section must have an unmapped field with the slug reference and a mapped field with the slug webStatus (mapped to web_status).

Vebra Alto Wrapper Roadmap

Some things to do, and ideas for potential features:

• Plugin migrations fail on first run
• Die gracefully on errors, i.e. 401
• Store token in a global store or database so it is retained between deployments.
• Release it
